The Botanist is an elegant restaurant and bar on Sloane Square, within a two-minute walk of the tube station. Drawing on influences from far and wide yet remaining quintessentially British, this is a classy affair well suited to a variety of occasions.

The modern interior provides a comfortable and relaxing space in which to enjoy a meal. You can come for a hearty breakfast from 8am on weekdays, and the flow of quality food continues as the day wears on. There’s a strong seafood contingent at The Botanist, with a choice of steaks and chicken dishes also jumping off the page. The Botanist is there for those prone to some brunch on a Saturday, with roast beef and lamb with all the trimmings served on Sunday.

You could just come for some after-work refreshment, of course. The wine list is international, there’s unique cocktails (try the Sloane Ranger) and a choice of beers if you’re after a crisp pint. It’s well suited to a chic cocktail and canape reception, indulgent dinner and – with their exclusive discounts for those going to the theatre at Cadogan Hall – a shoo-in for the pre-theatre crowd.
